## Discrepancy

(CAN) FOLLOWING A FLIGHT WHILE UTILIZING THE AUXILIARY RESOURCES, A CHECK VALVE STAYED PARTIALLY OPEN. THE MAIN RESERVOIR TRANSFERRED TO THE AUXILIARY AND THE FUEL (TOO FULL) EXITED BY THE VENT AND LEAKED TO THE GROUND. THE PILOT ACTIVATED THE BOOST PUMP WITH AUXILIARY TRANSFER AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED.
